Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty

Bend down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around people lookin' half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come on, come on and dance all night

Despite the heat, it'll be all right

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

The days can't be like the nights

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

Cool town, evening in the city

Dressed so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat, looking for a kitty

Gonna look in every corner of the city

'Til I'm wheezing like a bus stop

Runnin' upstairs, gonna meet you on the roof top

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come on, come on and dance all night

Despite the heat, it'll be all right

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

The days can't be like the nights

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty

Bend down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around people lookin' half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come on, come on and dance all night

Despite the heat, it'll be all right

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

The days can't be like the nights

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city
